  • In this episode, I delve deep into my personal journey and share insights on embracing and understanding emotions. As someone who has walked through emotional battles and navigated the ups and downs of diagnosis, I know how transformative it is to learn emotional resilience. We explore the essential nature of emotions, the importance of releasing judgment, and why moving beyond labels can unlock a more fulfilling life. This episode is about reducing suffering, increasing self-love, and finding a way to live joyfully, even with life’s challenges.

    - **[0:00] Introduction and Personal Journey**

    I reflect on the journey of this podcast and my personal growth in business. This podcast is more than just content; it's a heartfelt endeavor to help others.

    - **[3:00] The Importance of Emotions**

    Emotions are the core of a fulfilling life. We talk about how managing emotions is crucial for living intentionally and powerfully.

    - **[5:45] Personal Experiences with Emotional Battles**

    I share my past struggles with intense emotions and how they impacted my life, especially during early motherhood. Emotions can be overwhelming, but there is a way to navigate them.

    - **[11:20] Client Stories and Emotional Challenges**

    My clients’ experiences vary widely—from inner battles to life-altering events. Regardless of their circumstances, it all comes back to how they handle emotions.

    - **[16:30] Understanding and Allowing Emotions**

    We're not taught how to feel or understand emotions deeply. I discuss how learning about feelings, their bodily sensations, and their impact on us is transformative.

    - **[21:10] Moving Beyond Diagnosis**

    A diagnosis doesn’t have to define you. I share my experience with clinical diagnoses and why I choose to see them as information rather than identity. Diagnosis can provide insight, but it’s not a life sentence.

    - **[26:50] Reducing Suffering and Enhancing Life**

    The goal in coaching is to reduce suffering and increase life satisfaction. We start by managing pain, then look for ways to enrich and enliven life.

    - **[30:45] Compulsion vs. Desire**

    Compulsion often drives us out of fear, whereas desire is about genuine longing. Shifting from compulsion to desire is key to creating a life you truly want.

    - **[33:15] Final Thoughts and Closing Invitation**

    Imagine what life could be like if you let go of the belief that something’s inherently wrong with you. What if you could experience relief, joy, and love without fixing "everything"?

    **Connect with Me:**

    If you’re ready to work through emotional challenges, I invite you to book a free call with me at [amandahess.ca](https://www.amandahess.ca) to start the journey to reducing suffering and creating a life you love.

  • Hardship is a part of living. Sometimes it can feel like there is no way to go through hardship without losing yourself to sadness, depression and hopelessness along the way. I used to struggle with this too and I want to show you the way you can do it without getting emotionally lost. Navigating hardship is something that can get a lot easier, when we know how to handle our emotions. Today's episode is going to walk you through each step.

    In this episode we cover:

    - The unique experience of hardship (we are all just human)

    - Grieving & handling emotions (how to do it in a way that you are not always falling apart)

    - Managing emotions (what to really do to process emotions)

    - Ways to experience happiness and joy when going through hardship

  • If you worry about what other people think, Congratulations! This means you are human. It's normal to worry what other people think, but that doesn't mean we need to consciously keep it that way. One way to release what other people think, is to let them be wrong about you. It's simple and it works. Listen in to learn how to apply this in a way that can truly change your life and your ability to stop caring what other people think and instead start deciding what you want to think instead.

  • You might already know that making yourself a priority is something you should be doing, but did you know that it's actually the number one factor in creating a life you love living? Without making yourself a priority, nothing in your life is going to work long-term. It's one thing to know this, and it is completely another thing to implement it. As women, we have been socialized for years to prioritize everything ahead of ourselves, including the family pet. Today I break down why you need to change your priorities and how to do it in a way that actually sticks.
